A 3d srardew valley style game where you play as a Hobbit would be just… Sooooo good. Nice
I like recipes and games, both digital and analog. I’m an increasingly old fart with kids who knows a little bit about a lot of things.

I’ve been using GIMP for around twenty years and I agree that it’s still hard to use, but I will say, they’ve improved a ton in the last few years. It’s important to know that it’s not for drawing, it’s for image manipulation. I have no idea why they’ve never just added a suite of drawing tools though.
Yeah. I think the issue in NMS is that they keep adding new systems (good) that do the same things as other systems (hmm) and can’t interface with those systems (bad). Like, why is town building not at all like base building? Why does base building have its own rudimentary town building part, but it kinda just stops? Why do they have beautifully realized frigates in space, and crashed frigates ont he ground, but no relationship between the two?
I really want to love it, it contains essentially everything I like in a game, but it just constantly falls short on depth each time. I’m due to go back and sink another few hours into it but I also feel pretty confident that I’ll finish off again feeling the ache of missed opportunity.
All that, and also I just think the writing in the game is phenomenally bland. It’s not bad at all, it just never captures my interest in the slightest. I’d love to get my hands on the basic framework of the story and totally rewrite it.
The outer wilds is mostly pretty chill and relaxing and one of the best games I’ve ever played. Don’t look up spoilers if you pick it. It’s a game about exploring and curiosity
